This CLE webinar will provide guidance to business and technology counsel for reviewing and revising representations, warranties and indemnification clauses in software and cloud computing agreements in light of increased malware threats and other security vulnerabilities. The panel will discuss key considerations when updating risk mitigation provisions and potential enforceability challenges with the clauses.

Description

While representations, warranties and indemnification provisions have become commonplace in software and cloud computing contracts, many agreements have continued to rely on decades-old provisions that do not take into account recent ransomware outbreaks and other security vulnerabilities. Modernizing these provisions is critical to minimizing liability exposure.

Vendors’ counsel frequently seek broad disclaimers of warranties provisions and strict indemnification clauses. Counsel to technology purchasers must strategically negotiate these clauses to ensure their clients’ rights are adequately protected. Counsel for both purchasers and vendors must anticipate and address potential statutory limits, as well as enforcement and procedural hurdles.

Listen as our panel of attorneys experienced in negotiating technology contracts discusses best practices for updating and enforcing representations, warranties and indemnities in software and cloud computing agreements to protect against the threat of computer viruses and other security vulnerabilities.
